  1. MKV conversion

    #20840 • 2012-04-04 05:52:05 * • Chestnut_Rice said:

    Hi guys! I'm currently looking for a way to convert anime subs and video in the mkv format to a more mainstream format such as .avi or .mp4 so I can watch them on my shitty phone. Any helpful links/tips you guys have? I already tried just changing the extension name. That obviously didn't work. And all the softwares that I tried are pretty much scams. Failing this, do you know where I would be able to get a few subbed episodes of Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou directly in the .mp4 or .avi formats? Thanks in advance!

    I hear that the newest version of VLC Media Player has a Save/Convert option, and if you know what you're doing you can get it working on your phone.

    Alrighty, I have a bit of expertise on this subject, having been in a similar situation.

    There are 2 main ways I took care of this:

    1. I used a conversion program (such as Handbrake), changed a couple options, waited forever, and POOF, my audio/video was in an MP4 container.

    2. Do a more complicated, but better, conversion process using AviSynth, VirtualDubMod and MKVToolnix. This entails ripping the audio and video streams, converting the video stream to a MP4-suitable format, using the TextSub filter in VDMod to hardsub the video, and then joining the two in VDMod.

    If you don't know what you're doing, I suggest using option one, just due to how simple it is. If you'd liek a full rundown on the second option, mention me in this thread, and I'll do so.

    There's video freemake. I'm pretty sure you're able to convert .mkv into android file as well using that thing.

    ...... But be warned that it takes a shitload of time.

    Isn't it possible to extract the subs fom mkv?
    -and in the android market I believe that there are apps for playing mkv's

    One thing you should know is that MKV is a container. The video, audio, and subs are actually different files put into a container which in this case is in .mkv container.

    So, the first thing you wanna do is to extract these files from .mkv container's teats and then afterwards, use a converter like Handbrake to put the files back together vin a different container like say, mp4.

    I personally use Xvid4psp to put these files back together because the presets in this program is just so simple and beautifully done, sometimes I forget that I know how A/V works.

    Otherwise, handbrake works too. But you need to understand A/V stuff a bit if you use that.

    @senkono Oh god. Nah migga. Thank you so much.

    And I learned that you in fact can convert things with VLC, which I have. And it's easy to use. Thanks for your help guys!

    Just throw em over on handbrake, and be sure to remember to add the subs "burned in" manually on the subtitles tab.
